IN RESPONSE TO A CALLCalling is part knowing, part mystery, but all encompassing

O God,I live in response to your call.My life is not my own.But yielded to you,my life is given creative capacitiesand myriad opportunitiesto serve, to learn,to grow, to give--to live more fullythan if I'd never heardor never responded toyour call.

I would like to understand more,in the thought that I may more pointedlycooperate with your purposesin my life.

But if my fuller knowingignites my pride or selfish will,or inhibits an iota of your desire,then let me carry onseeing as through a glass darklythat I may be led haltinglyinto a future that fulfillsyour call on my life.
